Architectural framework for supporting operating system survivability
The ever increasing size and complexity of Operating System (OS) kernel code bring an inevitable increase in the number of security vulnerabilities that can be exploited by attack...

Dynamic and adaptive updates of non-quiescent subsystems in commodity operating system kernels
Continuously running systems require kernel software updates applied to them without downtime. Facilitating fast reboots, or delaying an update may not be a suitable solution in m...

Recovery domains: an organizing principle for recoverable operating systems
We describe a strategy for enabling existing commodity operating systems to recover from unexpected run-time errors in nearly any part of the kernel, including core kernel compone...

Using aspectC to improve the modularity of path-specific customization in operating system code
Layered architecture in operating system code is often compromised by execution path-specific customizations such as prefetching, page replacement and scheduling strategies. Paths...
